Then thought about possibly using it for domestic travel within the US - and this is where I got confused.

Tried EWR -MSY and was given no option to use cert. this was replicated across many other routes (both rtn and one ways).

However, some routes did allow me to enter the code. From memory IAD - ORD and EWR - LAX. Both searched as one ways.

So, is there some rules about fare codes I should know or just a glitch on the site?

havent got got any firm plans yet but before I make any, would be good to know what I'm doing wrong....
I'm pretty sure you can only use them on itineraries with all legs on United/United Express metal. Is it possible you were looking at routes that included legs on partners?
